Ingredients

½ cup sweet Asian chili sauce, plus extra to finish
1 shallot, thinly sliced
½ zucchini, sliced
½ to 1 tsp. red chili flakes, depending on your heat-tolerance level

2 Tbsp. cilantro
2 Tbsp. basil (optional)

⅓ cold-fermented pizza dough recipe

Directions

  1. At least 2 hours before baking, remove dough from refrigerator and shape into a ball by gathering dough toward bottom and pinching shut, placing the seam side down. Flour well and place ball in a medium-size mixing bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow dough to rise at warm room temperature until it has roughly doubled in volume.
  2. Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat (350°F to 450°F) and preheat a pizza stone for at least 15 to 25 minutes.
  3. Press out 1 ball of dough into a rough 8-inch circle, leaving outermost edge about 1 inch thicker than the rest. Gently stretch dough by draping over knuckles into a 12- to 14-inch circle about ¼ inch thick. Transfer to a pizza peel covered with parchment paper.
  4. Evenly spread the Asian chili sauce on the surface of the dough. Add the sliced shallots and zucchini. Top with the red chili flakes and shredded chicken. Top with the cheese.
  5. Slide the pizza on the preheated pizza stone. Grill for about 10 to 12 minutes, turning once or twice during the process.
  6. Remove the pizza from the grill once the pizza dough is golden around the edges and the cheese is nice and bubbly. Check the bottom of the crust to decide when to remove (don’t let the bottom burn). Using the pizza peel, transfer the pizza from the stone to a wire rack and let the pizza rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Before serving, lightly drizzle the pizza with more Asian chili sauce, and top with the chopped nuts and fresh cilantro. Top with fresh basil (optional). Cut into wedges and serve warm.
